Lisp programmer seeks type systems, considers Common Lisp

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A Lisp programmer is exploring different dialects of the language, finding themselves drawn to functional styles like Clojure and Scheme. However, they express a desire for stronger type systems, which are more prevalent in languages like Haskell or Idris. Another user suggests that Common Lisp implementations, particularly SBCL, offer robust type inference and compiler warnings that could address this need for type safety. AI

    I've been writing in one # lisp or another for the majority of this year and I still don't know how I feel about it. I'm leaning more towards functional-styled lisps like # clojure or # scheme but I still find that I miss type systems. Still haven't decided if that's just a habit…
